Abstract

Total eventration of the hemidiaphragm is a rare condition in adults. We report a 75-year-old woman with large eventration of the right diaphragm who required an emergency plication because of acute progressive respiratory distress. The symptom disappeared immediately after operation. Even in asymptomatic elderly patients with eventration, close follow-up is recommended.

摘要

半侧膈肌完全膨出在成人中是一种罕见的病症。我们报告了一名75岁女性，其右侧膈肌出现巨大膨出，因急性进行性呼吸窘迫而需要紧急折叠术。术后症状立即消失。即使是无症状的老年膈肌膨出患者，也建议密切随访。
